Factory...I dunno, maybe in another country. This one though says has been converted to rhd

aussie re-tread? I'm sure some had to be made or converted for the brethren down under. Hmm. 3/4 ton with 5 lug conversion. Hmm.

I'm no expert, but I don't think we ever had the early c10/20 built RHD. We did have the 73 shape for sale here for about 5 years but there wasn't the demand for such big pickups. Any other RHD was a grey import and converted here at great expense. Now that Holden have gone down the gurgler, who know's what is in store?

I've seen a right hand drive from down under on this site. IIRC, manual steering only. No power steering was ever offered.

tHERE WAS A PICTURE OF A rhd from austrailia floating arounf here it could have been in Canada but I don't think so.

Aussie Ol' Blue · 01-24-2014, 09:20 PM

I'm really happy to say that mine is still LHD. Took a little getting used to driving at first, but I much prefer it.

There are several RHDs on the forum. Both factory and custom.

I see lots of RHD conversions here in rural TN for mail carriers. Somebody near here has made a good living doing it. The ones I've seen up close look factory, a good job.
